THE UK'S LEADING DEVELOPER OF LOCAL AND NEIGHBOURHOOD RETAIL CENTRES

Berryfields, Aylesbury

Berryfields is one of the most successful new residential developments in the home counties, designed to provide more than 3,500 new homes, around two thirds of which are now built and occupied.

In mid 2016, Newcrest was asked to work with the house-builders’ consortium to design and then develop a mixed-use district centre for Berryfields, forming a local hub with the adjacent Aylesbury Vale Academy and the local primary school.

A development brief for the site was prepared and, in January 2016, a planning application was submitted for a development comprising of a mixture of local shops together with 60 houses and apartments. Planning was approved in July 2017 and Newcrest has already secured a long-term commitment from Sainsbury’s to occupy the food store, providing the ideal anchor from which to create a vibrant focal point for the local community.
